Failing Wall Gets Fixed in Tomah, WI
A homeowner in Tomah, WI noticed small cracks forming along her foundation wall. It wasn't until she noticed the wall bowing and tilting inward where she quickly took action. She had heard about our services through friends and immediately knew that we would do the job correctly and in a timely manner. She took advantage of our FREE estimate and scheduled a time for one of our experts to inspect the issue.
Our Design Specialist, Will R traveled to the home and explained to the homeowner that the issue could be fixed with our PowerBrace, a wall repair system that's designed to keep bowing walls at bay. Will explained that the PowerBrace is installed by cutting the braces to the appropriate height of your wall. It is then placed on the failing wall and secured to the floor and top of the wall. After it is attached it is then tightened to straighten that wall. The homeowner agreed and Will's plans were quickly sent to our Foreman, Diego B, and his crew. On the day of the installation Diego B and his crew installed 5 PowerBrace's satisfying our customer. Now, our customer no longer has to worry about her failing wall.

PowerBrace and GeoLocks Install in Viroqua, WI
A homeowner in Viroqua, WI, knew they had a large repair job on their hands. Overwhelmed by all the issues with their foundation, the homeowner knew they needed to have a professional inspect their home. The homeowner remembered seeing an American Waterworks vehicle in their neighborhood, so they went to our website to do some more research into our company. After seeing all the services we provide, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chuck, to the home to complete the estimate. When Chuck arrived, he began his inspection of the basement and found several issues. Chuck's main concern was the status of the home's foundation. After alerting the homeowner, he provided them with a solution that would permanently stabilize their foundation. Chuck recommended installing GeoLocks and PowerBraces around the perimeter of the basement. The homeowner agreed with Chuck's recommendations, so the plans were directed to our Foreman, Luis, and his crew. After the crew arrived at the home, they immediately began their work. First, the crew installed 20 GeoLock anchors around the basement. Then, the crew installed four PowerBraces on the east foundation wall. The crew successfully installed all the foundation stabilization products, so they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed by the excellent work done by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to stabilize another home's foundation.

Push Piers Installed in Sparta, WI
Diane B. in Sparta, WI contacted American Waterworks after seeing one of our commercials on TV. She noticed her garage floor was uneven, and she feared the problem was only going to get worse. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Brian Ramirez, to meet with Diane and evaluate the situation. After his inspection, Brian recommended our Foundation Push Pier System to provide a permanent solution to her settlement issue.
Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew started the installation by excavating the soil surrounding the home where the foundation had started settling until they reached the bottom of the footings. Then, they secured brackets under the footings and inserted the piers until they hit competent, supportive soil. The piers transfer the weight of the home to the supportive soil, preventing further settlement. The crew wrapped up the project with installing our frost protection system to protect against frost damage. Then, they replaced the soil and cleaned up their work area. Diane was happy she chose to invest in the stability of her home, and we are glad we could restore her peace of mind!
